==== 18th International Conference on Semantic Systems Vienna, Austria September 12 - 16, 2022 https://2022-eu.semantics.cc/ ====

The Research and Innovation track at SEMANTiCS 2022 EU welcomes papers on novel scientific research and/or innovations relevant to the topics of the conference. SEMANTiCS 2022 especially invites contributions that target the intersection between computational semantics and neighboring research areas such as machine learning, language technologies, sensor technologies, distributed ledgers and beyond.

Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere unless as preprint. Papers must follow the guidelines given in the author instructions, including references and optional appendices. Each submission will be reviewed by several PC members who will judge it based on its innovativeness, technical merits, and effectiveness at solving real problems.

Proceedings of SEMANTiCS 2022 EU will be made available open access and planned to be published with IOS Press.
